Morgan Wallen was the top winner at Sunday night’s (Nov. 19) 2023 Billboard Music Awards, taking home 11 trophies.
He also performed his fan-favorite song “’98 Braves,” from One Thing at a Time, and in a nod to the song, Wallen performed — and accepted his trophies — at Atlanta’s Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves baseball team. The performance and acceptance speech were filmed amid Wallen’s two-night run of sold-out shows at the venue on Nov. 10-11, as part of his current One Night at a Time world tour.
Just before Wallen offered his acceptance speech, the camera zoomed in on the 11 trophies he took home this year, including top male artist, top Hot 100 artist, top streaming songs artist, top country artist, top country male artist and top country tour.
Wallen’s One Thing at a Time project, which spent 16 weeks atop the Billboard 200 this year, won for top Billboard 200 album and top country album, while his song “Last Night,” which spent 16 nonconsecutive weeks atop the Hot 100, was named top Hot 100 song, top streaming song and top country song.
The evening was made extra special, as Wallen was introduced by ’98 Braves pitchers Tom Glavine and John Smoltz.
“We may have come close in ’98, but this guy really hit it out of the park tonight,” Smoltz said.
Wallen began his acceptance speech by referencing “’98 Braves,” written by Josh Miller, John Byron and Travis Wood.
“Like the song says, ‘You win some, you lose some,’” Wallen said, going on to reference this year’s CMA Awards, where he was nominated three honors and got shut out. “The last awards show I went to, we came home empty-handed. This one, I don’t have enough hands for them all. So either way, I promise I’m gonna stay the same, whether we come home with 10 or zero. I’m gonna give y’all my all, every single night and every time I go into the studio. … All these awards are really, it’s for my fans. So thank you guys so much.”
He continued: “You took a boy from east Tennessee, driving a two-door Toyota Tacoma, and turned me into one of Billboard‘s top artists. God bless y’all.”

Stray Kids is on fire — literally. This year, the group sent its album 5-Star to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has become one of the hottest K-pop groups on the scene, appearing at Lollapalooza and the VMAs — and now, the 2023 Billboard Music Awards Presented by Marriott Bonvoy.
The group — which consists of members Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N — delivered a pyrotechnics-filled performance of singles “S-Class” and “LALALALA” for their BBMAs debut on Sunday (Nov. 19). The showcase kicked off with “S-Class,” which saw the K-pop idols wearing military-inspired ensembles as they hit the track’s viral choreography.
A few members had their chance to shine during the performance’s transition moment into “LALALALA,” with Hyunjin stepping up to the plate for an energetic solo dance break complete with a fleet of background dancers. Bang Chan hinted at the larger than life set design before expertly hitting intricate dance moves alongside Changbin and Felix, the latter of whom grabbed the camera to take the boys up to a white elevated stage, where they all continued into “LALALALA.”
Stray Kids’ performance wasn’t the only highlight of the group’s evening. The K-pop stars also took home the top K-pop album award for 5-Star. The set was up against finalists FACE by BTS’ Jimin, 2nd EP ‘Get Up’ by NewJeans, The Name Chapter: Temptation by TOMORROW X TOGETHER and Ready to Be by TWICE.
5-Star crowned the Billboard 200 in June and spent a total of 16 weeks on the chart. While accepting the award, the group made sure to thank its devoted fans, STAY, for their unwavering support throughout the years.
“We would like to thank all of our STAYs and all the Stray Kids everywhere all around the world. Without the love and support from everyone, we would probably not have made it this far, and if wasn’t for the people that have been running by our side this whole time, the music that we create would not have been able to reach the people in need,” Bang Chan said on behalf of the group. “So us, Stray Kids, would like to say thank you to STAY and Billboard for giving us an unforgettable gift. We promise to return the favor with our upcoming music, performances and love.”
Changbin delivered the rest of the group’s acceptance speech in Korean and stated that winning the award was a result of the “tremendous love that STAY has shown us.” He continued, “Thank you for loving the albums, music and performances that shows our group’s unwavering color. We have a lot in store, so please keep an eye out for us and all of the amazing things that we have ready.”

Peso Pluma is already a champ, and at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, he was victorious once again with a knockout performance of his swaggy corrido “Rubicon.” The Mexican star took the stage — or, rather, boxing ring — alongside heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson, whose robe had “the best ever” written on the back.
As the 24-year-old hitmaker — Mexican music’s biggest star today — made his way to the ring, his superfans cheered him on. He then took to the ring to perform the track that’s part of his history-making album Génesis, and was joined not only by Tyson, but also his seven-piece band.
Following his epic performance, Peso Pluma (born Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija) was honored with the top Latin song award for his and Eslabon Armado’s global smash hit “Ella Baila Sola.” Earlier this year, the track made history as the first regional Mexican song to enter the top five on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart.
“Give it up to the people’s champion, Peso Pluma!” Tyson said as he handed the singer-songwriter his award. Then, it was Peso’s turn to speak.
“Thank you everyone,” he said, speaking in English. “Thanks, Mr. Tyson, for being here. Thank you to all the fans, thank you for all the love and the support. And I’d like to thank the Billboard Awards for having me here. Thank you very much.”

Peso has 22 entries on the Hot 100, and in June, he became the first artist to ever lead both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. lists simultaneously with different songs: “Ella Baila Sola” and “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 55,” respectively. His Génesis album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (dated July 1) — the highest rank ever for a música Mexicana album on the chart.
Peso was a top winner at October’s Billboard Latin Music Awards, taking home eight awards, including artist of the year, new. He entered Sunday’s awards show as a six-time finalist.
